Hearing Order OH-4-2011 for the

Northern Gateway Pipelines Inc.
Enbridge Northern Gateway Project Application of 27 May 2010
The Joint Review Panel (Panel) for the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project (Project) is issuing
this Hearing Order to outline the joint review process along with the available participation
options.
The joint review process is designed to gather information from all viewpoints. The process is
public and open to anyone who wishes to participate. The continued participation of all those
affected by the Project is important to the Panel as it will consider all relevant information
received in making its decision.
There are four options for participating in the joint review process:
• submit a letter of comment (see section 7.1);

• make an oral statement (see section 7.2);
• become an Intervenor (see section 7.3); or
• become a Government Participant – federal, provincial, territorial or municipal government
bodies (see section 7.3).
As a reference guide, this Hearing Order can help individuals understand the joint review
process. The List of Issues for the Panel’s review of the Project is in Appendix I. Throughout this
document you will find details on key process steps including information about both community
hearings and final hearings. A detailed timeline is in Appendix II.
Local information sessions will be held to help individuals learn more about the joint review
process (see section 5). A Process Advisory Team is available to provide additional assistance at
any time during the joint review process (see section 6).
1 The Northern Gateway Application

On 27 May 2010, Northern Gateway Pipelines Inc. (Northern Gateway) applied to the National
Energy Board (Board) for authorization to construct and operate:
1. an oil export pipeline and associated facilities;

2. a condensate import pipeline and associated facilities; and
3. a tank terminal and marine terminal (the Kitimat Terminal) to be located near Kitimat,
British Columbia (BC).
These proposed facilities are collectively known as the Project.

7.3 Intervenor and Government Participant Status
Intervenors and Government Participants are generally involved in all the same steps of the

placed on the amount of involvement in certain steps. These restrictions are described in the
sections below.
7.3.1 Intervenor

confirm that the content of your evidence is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
7.3.2 Government Participants

This role is an option for government organizations at the federal, provincial, territorial and
municipal levels. The Government Participant option gives these government organizations the
opportunity to participate without becoming Intervenors. Government organizations may choose
any of the participation methods outlined in this Hearing Order.
Government Participant status allows you to:
• submit information requests to Northern Gateway;

• ask information requests of other Intervenors or Government Participants with prior
approval of the Panel;
• submit evidence in written format;

• question other Intervenors orally at the final hearings with prior approval of the Panel;
• receive all documents submitted in the joint review process, including notices of motion and
related materials;
• participate in processes for notices of motion submitted; and
• submit final argument.
Government Participant status requires you to respond in writing to written information requests
and answer oral questions during the final hearings (if Parties receive prior Panel approval to ask
oral questions).
7.3.3 How to Register for Intervenor or Government Participant Status

Panel. You may then provide your comments using one of the other methods of participation

information in the form contained in Appendix IV.
8 Steps in the Process

The following outlines the key steps of the joint review process that occur once you have
submitted your registration form. This section includes deadlines for the submission of various
documents. The process for submitting documents is described in section 9. Appendix II is a
schedule listing the deadlines for submitting and sending documents and the Party responsible
for the submission.
8.1 Additional Written Evidence from Northern Gateway
Northern Gateway must submit any additional evidence to supplement its application with the
Panel by 9 June 2011. This is not the additional information required in the 19 January 2011
Panel Results and Decision document that has already been received. It is any other evidence that
Northern Gateway wishes to submit regarding the Project. Northern Gateway must send a copy
of this additional evidence to all other Parties immediately after receiving the List of Parties.
8.2 Registration of Parties and List of Parties
Those wishing to become Intervenors or Government Participants must register by 14 July 2011.
Shortly after the deadline for registration as an Intervenor or Government Participant, the Panel
will issue a List of Parties (which consists of Northern Gateway, Intervenors, and Government
Participants). The Panel will send the List of Parties to all Parties. The List of Parties will also be
available on the Panel’s website.
OH-4-2011
12
If a Party’s contact information changes, that Party must inform the Panel of the new contact
information.
8.3 Information Requests to Northern Gateway
If you are an Intervenor or Government Participant and have questions regarding the Project
application, you can ask your questions to Northern Gateway in writing as information requests
during the times specified below. All information requests must be sent to Northern Gateway and
its counsel, and a copy must be submitted to the Panel and a copy sent to all Parties.
Northern Gateway must submit its responses to the information requests to the Panel and send a
copy to all Parties.
There will be two rounds of information requests to Northern Gateway beginning shortly after
the List of Parties is issued. The first round of information requests to Northern Gateway will
close on 25 August 2011. Northern Gateway must provide its responses by 6 October 2011. The
second round of information requests to Northern Gateway will close on 3 November 2011, with
the deadline for Northern Gateway to respond on 24 November 2011. You can send in several
sets of information requests during each round as long as they are received prior to the stated
deadlines.
8.4 Registration Deadline for Presenting at the Community Hearings
The deadline for Intervenors applying for permission to give oral evidence at the community
hearings is 6 October 2011, if you have not already done so in your registration for Intervenor
status. This is also the deadline for registrations to make an oral statement.
8.5 Evidence Submissions from Intervenors and

Government Participants
Intervenors and Government Participants must submit

to the Panel any written evidence they wish the Panel Intervenors and
to consider and must send a copy to all other Parties. Government Participants

(for example, oral evidence by Aboriginal elders).
Further details on this option are outlined in
section 8.6.
OH-4-2011
13
8.6 Community Hearings
The joint review process will include two sets of hearings. The community hearings will be the
first set of hearings and have two purposes, the first being to hear oral statements described in
section 7.2 above.
The second purpose of the community hearings is to allow Intervenors to give a portion of their
evidence orally. The Panel anticipates that Parties will provide most of their evidence in writing.
Generally, the Panel will allow oral evidence where:
• it consists of oral traditional evidence or evidence that cannot be provided in writing, and
• it can be presented within three hours or less, unless advanced notice is given to the Panel.
Intervenors wishing to present evidence orally must request permission from the Panel at the
time of registration. Requests to give evidence orally must include the following:
1. reason for the request including why the evidence cannot be provided in writing;
2. expected duration of the presentation;
3. an overview of the evidence proposed to be provided orally; and
4. names of the individuals expected to present to the Panel.
Written documents (e.g. reports) should be submitted as written evidence and not read as oral
evidence.
Community Hearings will be held in locations along the proposed pipeline route and in the
vicinity of the marine terminals, as well as Vancouver and Port Hardy, BC. The full list of
locations will be announced at a later date.
Active participation in the community hearings is restricted to the registered participants.

However, you are welcome to attend and observe the community hearings or you may listen to
the community hearings over the Internet by logging on to the Panel’s website at
www.gatewaypanel.review.gc.ca and following the instructions under “Hearings”.
8.7 Information Requests to other Parties
Northern Gateway, Intervenors and the Panel may ask information requests on the evidence
submitted by other Intervenors and Government Participants. Information requests must be sent
to the Intervenor or Government Participant who is being asked for the information, and a copy
submitted to the Panel. Permission from the Panel is required for Government Participants to
send information requests to Parties other than Northern Gateway.
This information request process will begin shortly after the end of the community hearings.
The deadline for information requests to the Intervenors and Government Participants is
20 March 2012. Intervenors and Government Participants must provide their responses by
15 May 2012. Intervenors and Government Participants must submit their responses to
information requests to the Panel and send a copy to all Parties.
OH-4-2011

8.8 Northern Gateway Reply Evidence
Northern Gateway may submit additional evidence in reply to the evidence and response to
information requests provided by Intervenors and Government Participants. This reply evidence
must be submitted to the Panel and a copy sent to all Parties. The deadline for Northern Gateway
to submit reply evidence is 29 May 2012.
8.9 Final Hearings
The final hearings will be held in two parts:

The final hearings allow the

The purpose of oral questions is to allow the

Panel and Parties to “test” the evidence submitted. Parties will not be permitted to ask oral
questions of another Party for the purpose of propping up evidence with which they both agree.
This evidence generally does not assist the Panel.
Northern Gateway and Intervenors must receive approval from the Panel to question a
Government Participant orally during the final hearings. A request to question a Government
Participant must indicate:
• the nature of the questions;

• the relevance of the questions to the
proceeding; and Final argument is an opportunity

Government Participants must also receive approval from the Panel to orally question any other
Party. The request must include the same information and follow the same timeline as described
above for Intervenors and Northern Gateway.
During the second part of the final hearings, Parties may provide final argument. Final argument
is an opportunity for Parties to summarize their evidence, explain their position on the
conclusions they would like the Panel to make about the Project; and make recommendations to
the Panel.
